Finished Socks, A Frogged Jumper & Why I'm Crocheting Now — Knitting Chat 108
If you've ever had your hands tell you "no" when your brain says "one more row," today's episode is for you. I sit down and catch you up on everything I've finished, unfinished, and frogged lately.
I finally cast off a pair of socks I'm properly chuffed with — but there's a twist. I've had an accident that's hurt my hand, and it's been causing real pain in my finger while knitting, so I've had to switch over to crochet for now.
I'm also confessing to frogging that mohair jumper I couldn't decide on a few weeks back — the one with the stripes I just wasn't loving. Sometimes you have to rip back and let it go, and I'll explain exactly why it wasn't working.
Grab a cuppa and let's have a chat.
🧶 What's in this episode:
The finished socks I'm properly proud of
Why I've had to pause knitting and pick up crochet instead
The mohair jumper frog and what went wrong with those stripes
What's next on my hooks and needles
Let me know in the comments below — have you ever had to switch crafts because of an injury? And be honest... would YOU have frogged that mohair jumper?
Thank you so much for watching!
